  1. I second this. The velcro straps I got at sportsmans for about R25 work great and are indeed reusable
  2. Depending on if your bike has 2 bottle cages, and whether you use both, I found a viable option for me was to drill out one of the rivnuts for the cage I don't use, and I route my cable through there
  3. Last try, anyone aware of any options for chain tensioners available locally? I am aware of the Rapidé options, looking to see if anything else is available.
  4. Thanks guys. Anyone aware of any other options?
  5. Hi, I have built up an old hardtail and converted to single speed. I am currently using an old rear mech as a chain tensioner, but it doesn't look the best. Anyone know of any chain tensioners I could purchase locally, either online or in the greater Cape Town area? I have seen the offering from Rapidé, but am looking around to see if there are any other options. Any suggestions?
  6. Something is not right with comments when using samsung browser....
  7. You should just stop with replying on this thread. You are the main contributor at the moment keeping it alive and its title in the active section on BH homepage. No one here is going to come to any agreement
  8. There is a product you can get at lots of pet stores called Pet Corrector. It's just a can of compressed air but the nozzle gives it a loud hissing sound.

  9. I'd measure first excluding the quick link. If the chain is good I wouldnt replace. Then measure again, this time including the quick link, if it is now showing as worn I would just replace the quick link.
  10. Admin should give you an honorary BikeHub plus membership for at least a year for all the help you have given to folks down on their luck. The amount of parts you offer and give away to people in need is huge. I have said it before, but you are truly an asset to this community, thank you
  11. So this is where all the straight steerer forks in SA are
  12. Besides cash, did you need to take anything with?
  13. Ahh come on, my 2010 26" hardtail is way cooler than that. It has a rear carbon hoop, did I mention it's green? Surely that changes your mind
  14. According to the article on Bike Radar, it is built to "slip" if a certain amount of pressure is applied to stop it from breaking in those scenarious. You will however need to have it recalibrated after
  15. Nah, thats Tokai. In Tygerberg they a civilized bunch, PK's only
  16. Not sure where you based, but try Stoke Suspension, they in WC
  17. Dang dude, you are like a legend around here. Every 5th thread I read someone is looking for help and someone else will be like, "Robert can help with that", and sure as hell you always do. You are indeed an asset to this community, thank you.
  18. Ah, going back and looking at the pics I see this now
  19. Have a look at the Lyne under bar levers. When I ordered they had a V1 and V2 option, one for post with cable clamp at the remote, and the other for cable clamp at the base of the post. Mine has worked well for a few years now and was like R250 or something
  20. Please ignore me, Google answered this question pretty quick. Sorry, don't know how to delete the thread
  21. Anyone know where I can buy Spank components locally? Extra points if they have an online store
